CC, hang on for the weekend!

Brina, thanks for the heads up about Turin. I'm not on their mailing list anymore, but I'll go to their website. I think I can get up there on the 8th.

You would think I was being poked with sharp sticks. My doc ordered a fasting cholesterol panel about, oh, say, 6 months ago! I just never, never leave the house without eating. I went to see her for something else recently (all's well), and she said, "I never got those results". That would be because I never gave them the blood....finally went and did it today. Oooh, oooh, faint with hunger, can barely drive....

Due to nervousness about the date last night, I had eaten, essentially, a piece of salmon, a few lettuce leaves, and (when I got home) 6 Thin Mints (the last of the Girl Scout thin mints). So, at 4 AM, I'm up and STARVING! I ate a fat free yogurt...I figured...it won't affect the cholesterol...then had my blood drawn at 8:15. If the numbers are all wonky, I can blame it on the yogurt.
